Newbie to Porteus- Long time user of linux (10+ years) RedHat during early years, then Ubuntu then many flavors of Puppy. Looking for 64 bit memory resident distros. I use Ubuntu64 12.04 desktop. Puppy Precise 5.5 Puppy Slacko 5.5 32 bit versions. Now to the issue!!

In everyone of those distros, but well after the original redhat distros, there is a GUI interfaced cpufrequtils that works fine. The Puppies just bring up the cpufrequtils from the desktop gui and select k8now and parameters and it works. (Ubuntu 64 is automatic installed)

I won't be able to test Porteus until I can quiet down (throttle) the cpu. The is an Asustek 16gig ram mb, amd 6000 (3Ghz) Athlon II processor K8NOW! I am unable to locate cpufrequtils in the porteus archive and the SLAX internet search revealed a non gui package??? After install I found three programs in /usr/bin and clicked on each to execute and no joy. Initiated in terminal with parameters, but still no joy. Any advice on repositories tha may have a functioning gui cpufrequtils like the other distros.

I've built some great 32 bit PAE puppy distros with Slacko 14 packages. Any advice would be appreiated.

Downloaded the xzm module and it gave me a congratulations on a successful install!
Do these modules work like RPM, PET and other self executing packages?
Was this supposed to install a menu item with and icon and a GUI type interface?

i'd say this is for Porteus 2.0 only, when i tried to activate in lxde i get no message at all(doesnt activate)(havent had this happen before)
in 2.1 frequency scaling govenor is set to ondemand by default, which suits me fine..
(i'm guessing)if you want to change this have a look at /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/cpufreq line 58
